Description: Job U by Nicholas Wyman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description How to Find Wealth and Success Without a Degree by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need. Offers unemployed, underemployed, and underskilled workers a new path to job security and economic prosperity by looking away from the traditional four-year college degree and instead to the burgeoning opportunities of career paths that equip us with the practical, technical, vocational, and soft skills that todays companies actually need. Publisher Description Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about what a successful career path can look like. Today, unemployment hovers at a near-record high, yet 3.5 million American jobs remain unfilled. Why? Because companies simply cannot find people with the skills they actually need. The good news is that this skills gap represents unprecedented opportunities for every person seeking a successful and exciting career. But these opportunities cant be found inside the walls of the traditional classroom. Instead, they lie in the myriad of educational options that provide the technical, vocational, and soft skills on demand in todays workplace, such as: -Professional certifications: Start your career faster in fields like bioscience aviation, culinary arts, and medical technology. -Associates degrees Increase earning potential through inexpensive 2-year programs in subjects like civil engineering, environmental science, education, and nursing. -Apprenticeships Earn while you learn under the direct supervision of a skilled expert. Far beyond the artisan trades, todays apprenticeships can be found at companies like Volkswagen and Siemens. -Occupational learning Refresh or reboot your skill sets through on-the-job training or online education. In Job U, youll learn about these paths to rewarding occupations; where to find them and how to parlay them into the best paying job in any field. And along the way, youll meet individuals of all ages who have attained their "dream jobs" through a non-traditional education: from an emergency air paramedic, to a lead mechanic of a racecar team, to an engineer of complex gas turbine generators, to a bestselling cookbook author. Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.
